Doleh, who was visiting family in the suburb southwest of Chicago, was found unresponsive in the backyard when emergency crews arrived, police said. He was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn where he was pronounced dead at 3:40 p.m. according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office.

"The safety of our customers and employees is our highest priority, particularly in instances of extreme weather," ComEd spokeswoman Elizabeth Keating said in a statement to NBC Chicago. "We are very sorry to learn about this young man’s passing and we are working with local authorities to understand the circumstances around this unfortunate incident."

"I'm mad," Doleh said. "I've been knowing this kid for 21 years and to lose at one time ... is it easy for a father? No it is not."
